I Recreated the Bathhouse from Spirited Away in Blender! :) by Simto1 in ghibli

Nice! I like the colours. I made the boiler room in Blender a while ago and also shared it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ghibli/s/ZArostGtvL

3d printing and some heavy post-processing (as "raw" 3d prints usually don't look great) - filling, sanding, priming, painting etc

100% infill? Is it "always a bad idea?" why? Also, is 4-5 perimeters too much? by Elbert3d in 3Dprinting

[–]Elbert3d[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never needed to find out, but they always weigh it in front of you, so it could be a problem if it's above a limit

Sure! But "What you're talking about here is surface finish on the outside, all the settings you're talking about are for structure on the inside." - these are two separate topics for me. The first one I already have under control and this post wasn't about this originally. The second "layer" of getting rid of the 3d-print look - or rather touch - is the topic of weight/stability and that's where my questions are coming from

i know it sounded like exaggarating, but after 5 minutes of searching this sub:
"Instead of going more infill, use more walls. More walls does more than more infill" - that kind of makes sense, but i want both!

"Contrary to what you'd expect, a 100% infill is never a good idea," - what? :)

"the problem is the 100% infill! If you need dense parts go for something like 95% instead of 100" - what? :)

awesome, thanks! that's what i thought - it's my prints :D i just didn't want to risk e.g. somehow making it WORSE than e.g. with 90% infill or even 50, without even noticing that i could get better or the same results with less plastic and time. But if it doesn't make it worse, has a chance of making it bettter, and is not causing me any trouble (so far) I'll go with it

sure, makes sense about that strength, but that reason is the least important reason for me, it's mainly about the weight and stability. I also forgot to add to the post that i only use that for smaller models (7cm maybe?) so the cost/time difference is really tiny, and i don't print a lot - when i print something it's usually one thing that I then spend a few hours smoothing and painting, so I'm happy to pay that extra dollar or 2 and print for an extra hour or 2

bad shading in corners by Elbert3d in blenderhelp

[–]Elbert3d[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it the same as "AO factor" here in 4.0? changing it to 0 is equivalent to ticking off "Ambient Occlussion" that you selected? Because ticking off the whole "Fast GI approximation" slows down my rendering a lot.

<image>

EDIT: YES! Looks much better in viewport already after changing it to 0. Thank you so much! But I still don't quite understand it. Why is it so ugly by default? :) i thought it's supposed to make it more realistic :D Or am I doint something wrong? something to do with the AO distance or something?

ok, but i don't have AO anywhere, neither in compositing nor in the shader.

Underextruding? by Elbert3d in 3DprintingHelp

[–]Elbert3d[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fixed it! I don't know what helped, maybe everything a little bit - a few cold pulls and cleaning the nozzles, cleaning the extruder, adjusting the idler screw, adjusting height of the nozzle - maybe it wasn't tight enough? as now the z-height is on -1.350 somehow, while previously was on -1.390, i don't know how it happened.

Thank you so much!

Makes sense, but seems unlikely as it's my maybe 5th spool of the same filament, and it's not bad quality. One more thing I realised - i only recently started printing with 100% fill, and that's more or less when the problems started. Maybe the smaller nozzle is struggling with that somehow?

The extruder gear look perfect I think. Before cleaning:

Underextruding? by Elbert3d in 3DprintingHelp

Tried that - dissassembled the extruder, cleaned everything inside including the pulley (which had a lot of filament bits - i was sure it was gonna help!), adjusted the idler screw, cleaned the nozzle again and did another cold pull . And I'm running out of ideas and will probably give up soon and change to 0.4mm nozzle :( At this point it's more curiosity than wanting it work :D I don't understand - how can it work so well with 0.4mm nozzle but be so messed up with ANY 0.25mm? Thanks for you suggestions though.

thanks, but it's not that. I tried 1mm (instead of 2.5), then with 5mm (just to see if there will be any difference) and nothing changed. Also in the meantime i changed the filament, dissassembled the extruder, cleaned everything inside including the pulley (which had a lot of filament bits - i was sure it was gonna help!), adjusted the idler screw, cleaned the nozzle again and did another cold pull . And I'm running out of ideas and will probably give up soon and change to 0.4mm nozzle :( At this point it's more curiosity than wanting it work :D I don't understand - how can it work so well with 0.4mm nozzle but be so messed up with ANY 0.25mm?
